Dismissing, their football knowledge acan capabilities based on their current jobs is ridiculous and short-sighted. Do you seriously think these will be the only jobs they will ever hold in the Bengals Front Office? Of course they won't.
Pally these statements are simply not true:
"These women have literally spent their ENTIRE LIVES immersed in football."
"They have been to every training camp."
Elizabeth has worked for the Bengals less than 2 years.
This was Caroline's 1st season with the team...
Prior to joining the team one lived in NY and the other San Diego - neither has lived in CIncy since 2011-12 - their senior years in high school.
I absolutely do not believe being the child of an owner and "being around" the team doesnt give an individual any keen insight as to player evaluations, analytics, coaching strategies, etc.
Mike Brown grew up in the organization and actually had jobs on the football side, not just the biz side, for decades and he still was the worst owner in NFL for a long long time.
99% of the time I love your posts but this is absolutely insane to me. Being a fan since the mid-70's I would love for the post-Katie family members to stick to the exec side and hire "football people" for "football operations" obviously you didnt suffer as long as some of us, or you just forgot? We dont need to be the poverty franchise anymore...in the far future I hope we hire the most qualified personnel for the job on the football side.
